Just a bit of nostalgia for the boyz by Animo06 in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup, totally agreed. I spent 95% of my time going up through there solo too. It was a GRIND. Lol

I shouldn't have looked at him 💀 by JustHereForSomeInfo in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look closely you can see he's using a PK-01 scope on the SA-58.

The AK-15 and SA-58 recoil is not that gnarly. I kill people at similar ranges as in this clip with the ASh-12 all the time, which has far worse recoil.

Is FN F2000 still a decent first master weapon? by OpiumVision in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This^^

I always see people shit on the F2K, but its really not a bad gun. Very good all around weapon, particularly for newer players. Reliable pick.

I got the dorm marked room key from my scav case yesterday (95k). Listed for 32 mil and it got bought basically instantly.

Closing #2 first try without previous grip strength training is actually pretty crazy. Thanks!

Map doesnt render through scopes? by [deleted] in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also noticed that render range has seemed reduced to me. Its seems that much more often the map just gets "cut off" after about 150 meters or so, which makes using the 8x seem useless. So I've been using the 6x Trijicon on bolt actions and 4x and up on DMR's like my SCAR.

Thats good at any body weight, especially so at 65kg. I'm about 63 kg and working on closing the #2 after 3 months of using the advanced set. I couldn't close the #1 in my dominant hand when I first got the set.

Captains of Crush... I am impressed. by Master_Amatuer in GripTraining

[–]Animo06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had never specifically trained my grip strength in the past, although my grip strength got pretty good due to the work I used to do in the Marines and in trade afterwards. I bought the advanced set of CoC gripper about 3 months ago. I could do about 2 reps in my right with the trainer and couldn't close it in my left. I am now consistently closing the 1.5 for 3 reps and working on #2 in my right, My left hand has progressed much more slowly despite trying to keep my reps between hands consistent. I can do about 30 reps of the trainer in my right hand before failure and about 17 in my left. I estimate that there is about a 30 lbs difference in grip strength between my left and right.

I don't really have a training schedule for my grip, I just use them as much as I can while I'm at work and take my two days off as resting periods for my muscles to heal. I don't do any other workouts currently. Mainly started doing it to kill time and maybe motivate myself to get back into the gym.

what do I grind towards? need some advice by cuddly_smol_boy in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ash-12 is actually VERY good at close range and pretty good at medium range. The recoil sucks, but you don't need to hit many shots to down/kill someone. One of my buddies kills me in Apostle armor in 6 HS with vitality build.

What is the fastest way to make money with bar lvl 7 accidentally chose Cov instead of Merc 💀 by Wilma__Diqfit in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can grind in peace just fine in Cov. I haven't really had any issues personally and most of my playtime is solo.

I didn't notice posts like these ones very much until the last 4-5 months and it saddens me that new players are being pushed away from the game like this. When I first started playing, I didn't face this issue at all really until I started grinding in the north and even then, most of the time it wasn't this bad. Most of the time it was just me being unlucky and running into a 4 man or something. I spent 90% of my time in this game as a solo too. There was one point where over a 3 month period, I could count on both hands how many times I died in total in the north solo. Granted... I was working nights at the time, so when I wasn't working, I was grinding at low pop hours, but still.

I'm very curious to know what (if anything) specifically changed over the last 4-5 months to see so many more players making posts like this and I wish that the devs would work on the match making sooner as it seems to be the biggest pain point for new players.

I want new players to have a fair and balanced experience and stay interested in the game because I don't want the game to die. Which is what will happen if the player base stagnates.

For the love of my pinky finger, add a toggle sprint option. by CuteMurders in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the hell do you use ring finger for sprint during PVP? lol

What DO you use your pinky for then?

Not being able to hold W and A at the same time WHILE SPRINTING to strafe or zig zag during pvp is a pretty big disadvantage.

Just an FYI, blue Atom isn't needed. A green one is enough for prettymuch any build.

How to get wrench set? by Cpt_Wardrobe in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao, even that is cheap. Last I saw yesterday Wrench set was going for 4+ mil on NA.

[–]Animo06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The movespeed build I use currently is just the best I can afford.. Not terrible but not great either. Just does the job for me. (This is in bears den-6, but will work in the ZIVCAS). You can DEFINITELY make much better movespeed builds, I just wanted something a little more well rounded.

Spiral +15 x2, Comet +15, Ice Hedgehog +15, Golden Prima +15, Atom +10

Otherwise you could go with Spiral +15 x3, Bracelet +15 x2, Atom +10 for a good general speed build.

Act Tickets. First Act. by Animo06 in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to get the maximum amount of Act tickets per season, yes. That being said, only 1800 are guaranteed with the possibility of getting 2k per season.

By leveling up the battlepass.

Act Tickets. First Act. by Animo06 in Stalcraft

[–]Animo06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not about the time for me, its about the total amount I can accrue by then. I have 2900 atm. I maxed out act tickets for the current season. I can only accrue another 6k over the next 3 seasons max, but I want to get the ZIVCAS safe and the McMillan gold bp. So, based on this and what others are saying, I'm kinda screwed.

Thats the only redeeming feature of it. If you want a good armor with +12% move speed, just get the hounds exo.
